Tech failures

Two things. This will be a short post.

I DO need tech to work. Without it I'd have to use a manual type writer and roughly seventeen assistants would be required every day to rectify my typos. I am fast. I am also not exactly accurate when hitting the keys.

Second thing: It's a double edged sword. Yes, Facebook and social media have helped spread the word on my writings. Yes, I can also spend far too much time looking at pictures of kittens and the occasional snarky meme for my own good.

That sums up my opinions on technology in the workplace. It's a good thing. it can be a bad thing. Approach

with caution.

Because it's that time of year, a tale for you. Follow the link, if you are so inclined, to Halloween night on Hathburn Avenue.

I write fiction, a little of everything and a lot of horror. I've written novels, comic books, roleplaying game supplements, short stories, novellas and oodles of essays on whatever strikes my fancy. That might change depending on my mood and the publishing industry. Things are getting stranger and stranger in the wonderful world of publishing and that means I get to have fun sorting through the chaos (with all the other writer-types). I have a website. This isn't it. This is where you can likely expect me to talk about upcoming projects and occasionally expect a rant or two. Not too many rants. Those take a lot of energy. In addition to writing I work as a barista, because I still haven't decided to quit my day job. Opinions are always welcome.
